VENUE: “ANAMED”

The symposium will take place at ANAMED Center in Merkez Han, Taksim, Istanbul, providing a convenient and inspiring setting for the exchange of knowledge and collaboration.

Located beside one of the busiest streets of İstanbul, İstiklal Street the white facade of the Merkez Han filters in the sounds and smells of the city. It’s hard to separate ANAMED from Istiklal street; the livelyness of the pedestrian way below, with its shops and cafes, never feels far away from the research and study spaces of the institute. Istiklal Street, with its dazzling and lively atmosphere, can be observed from both the front and rear terraces of the building in both daylight and evening lights.

ANAMED, the Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations, housed in the historic Merkez Han on Istanbul’s Istiklal Street, was founded in 2005to develop and facilitate research projects that are dedicated to the history, art, architecture and archaeology of civilizations in Türkiye. As the first local academic research center founded to support scientific research on the history of Anatolia, ANAMED carries out this mission through publications, exhibitions, symposia, and fellowship for doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers.
